Barque of Dante (1822)

•Artist: Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863)

•Period: Romantic

•Significance: Early romanticism still relied somewhat upon classical themes. Here Dante (left) represents the heritage of Medieval Europe, Virgil, the ancient past, and Phlegyas, the oarsman of Hell warned people not to despise the gods. Dante’s red cap, Virgil’s white shirt, and Phlegyas’ blue mantle are the colors of the French Revolution. The Revolution founders upon rough seas, as angry souls try to sink the ship of state.

•Liberty Leads the People (1830)

•Artist: Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863)

•Period: Romantic

Significance - painted in 1830 there was hope that the 1789 revolution had not entirely died. Liberty is represented by a common woman, a prostitute. Her breasts represent the ability to nourish the people. The author ennobles the common people into the revolution. Liberty leads the common people into the revolution holding the tri-color flag of the revolution. Demonstrates that even the meanest person can seize upon the ideals of liberty.

•Charity (1878)

•Artist: William Bouguereau (1825-1905)

•Period: Late Romantic

What is the significance of "Charity (1878)?

•Here, a motherly woman, clad in the red of love, cares for five cherubic children: one looks to her for hope, another suckles for nourishment, a third sleeps peacefully in her protective arms, a fourth reads and grows intellectually, and the fifth huddles in her skirts for protection. The gold underneath her feet is scattered for the use of all, and its color brings the truth of the golden shrine from heaven, down to the earth for the benefit of the people.

religious and classical elements

•Artist: Léon-Auguste Lehrmitte (1844-1925)

•The indigent Family (1865)

•Artist: William Bouguereau (1825-1905)

•Period: Late Romantic

What is the significance of the painting "The Indigent Family" 1865)

• This fatherless family is set in the midst of classical architecture, symbolizing the state, which many argue in the Industrial Revolution, must be the support of the indigent (deeply poor), called “parens patriae” in Latin, or “the state as father.” The state, however, seems to be neglecting its charitable duty. In the upper-left, there is a placard that reads “Charity,” indicating that there is a lot of talk about public charity, but apparently little is being done.
